WEEK 9- DJ and Music Production (August 17 - August 21)

$650.00

The easiest way to go from "Zero" to "Producer."

Think you need years of lessons to write a hit song? Think again! This week, we combine the mind-blowing power of Suno AI with the creative tools in GarageBand to turn every camper into a songwriter and DJ. If you love music and know how to use a tablet or computer, you’re ready for this camp.

How We Build the Hits

We use a simple, three-step process to create original music in minutes:

  1. Step 1: The AI Spark (Suno AI) Campers use Suno AI to brainstorm. Tell the AI the "vibe" you want—like "Chill Lo-fi for studying" or "High-energy Robot Techno"—and watch as it generates a unique base track, lyrics, and melodies to get us started.

  2. Step 2: The Remix (GarageBand) This is where the real magic happens. We take those AI ideas and bring them into GarageBand. Campers learn to:

    • Layer Beats: Add your own drum loops and "drops."

    • Record Parts: Play virtual keyboards or record your own voice.

    • The Mix: Use "FX" like Echo and Reverb to make the track sound professional.

  3. Step 3: The Live Set Learn how to organize your songs into a "Setlist." We’ll teach you how to transition between songs and talk to the crowd like a pro DJ.

What You’ll Learn

  • Prompt Engineering: How to talk to AI to get the coolest sounds.

  • Song Structure: Learning about Intros, Choruses, and the "Drop."

  • Basic Audio Editing: Cutting, pasting, and looping sounds to perfection.

  • Performance Skills: Building the confidence to play your music for others.

The Big Friday Party

On Friday, we turn up the speakers! Every camper gets a turn at the DJ booth to play their original AI-powered tracks for the rest of the camp.

FUN FRIDAY TRIP: (Optional)
We will ask campers where they want to go on Monday and will decide by wednesday. Options are endless with theme parks, Science centers, Zoos and more!
